"I work organized crime and complex gang cases. Managing these investigations is difficult because of the number of suspects, associates, and witnesses involved. It's easy to miss an important name, address, or phone number because it is lost somewhere in a file. OneNote makes it easy to manage complex cases and share information with other investigators. I wish I had known about it years ago." -Special Agent, California Department of Justice

"OneNote is a huge time saver and lets me stay organized and manage multiple cases without having stacks of paper files on my desk and boxes piled in my office. Learning how to use OneNote is not difficult but Conquering Cases shortens the learning curve to an hour or two." -Detective, Hayward (CA) Police Department
